UPDATE: After a bunch of banging my head against a wall, I got it working with the official documentation: įWIW, I think the healthchecks in the originally linked tutorial are actually the culprits. Has anyone been able to get this running? The stack never starts successfully, with the bitwarden-db.err log file reporting: Access denied for user (using password: YES) Many users of Vaultwarden will also tend to purchase a premium subscription (currently $10 USD/year) as a means to support the continued development of the main Bitwarden codebase and is encouraged to support in any way they can by the creator of the Vaultwarden project.I've been trying all day to follow this guide: Moreover being that Bitwarden cannot guarantee or support a separate 3rd party project, it is recommended that support issues with the official product be directed here to these community forums or by directly contacting Bitwarden support while support issues with Vaultwarden be directed to Vaultwarden’s own community forums which have been set up by the maintainers.

The Bitwarden clients handle encryption locally prior to ever being sent to any server, however there could arise an issue where Bitwarden clients update in such a way that things break between the Vaultwarden server and how Bitwarden clients expects certain behaviors. This will also still require you to download and use the free Bitwarden client applications for browser, desktop, or mobile in conjunction with the 3rd party product as Vaultwarden does not provide their own.

While the server API codebase is compatible, it should be noted there are some features that may be missing. Vaultwarden is an unofficial 3rd party product and is not affiliated with Bitwarden.

I believe it can even be ran on something as small as a Raspberry Pi. The Vaultwarden code is hosted on Github and is written in Rust which makes it ideal for much smaller installs where hardware requirements may be sparse. Specifically the server API which the clients can also communicate to in the instance of self-hosted installs. This article linked documents how to install Vaultwarden inside of docker on your Synology NAS, there are a few other articles I have seen online which references the two interchangeably.ĭue to Bitwarden’s awesome open-source codebase and community aspect Vaultwarden is a spin-off, or fork of the greater Bitwarden codebase.
